Covjets13 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 So here we go with another update....this is most definitely a “Muller” build I used masking solution to replicate the wear on the wing...so after a day to make sure it’s totally dry, I masked to spray Tops side underside, happy with the result, and when I weather it will blend in. So...this is when it all started to go wrong. I put the roundel on the nose, and it went all “Indiana Jones” and just melted. The other issue, has been a persistent flow mark under the cockpit that would disappear in primer.... rubbed down, and time to re-touch it all over again. but re-appears....it’s at this point I’m just going to live with it. All red white and blue again...with added ripple😂 So on with the decals, and the issue is the walkways which are black. So after some thought, I used a draughting bow (was my Grandads, which he used to line his EM gauge locos and coaches). Finished result which I will touch up later. Now on with main undercarriage bays and the panel behind the bomb bay. Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings and any comments are welcome. I can say that if it hadn’t been for this group build, this would have been binned. Cheers Si 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I like the way that you got the worn patches on the wings. Pity about the flow marks, but to the naked eye they do not seem that bad. Hope that you have better luck with the next decals that you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covjets13 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 He comes the next instalment... all the decals are from the spares box, and because I couldn’t find stencils for the Bucc in white, I just looked for the right “shape” and lots of poetic licence😉 Flory dark dirt applied and then being removed. top side underneath I then applied a combination of pin washes (AK) then oils. I then fixed that with a Gunze Matt coat and then my love hate medium...pastels. for the vortex and exhaust staining. Then another Matt coat. wheel wells finished, and the massive leak that seams to be synonymous with the Bucc. I have a pic showing it this bad, so couldn’t resist. using some UV glue for the cowling and hud Showing the hud, completed wheels and all the metal areas undercarriage attached sitting on “her” wheels, and front cockpit glass attached. I also did the very prominent wear on the leading edges. I also polished the paintwork to give it a luster. Thank you all for your encouragement it is very appreciated. Now on with the last push to complete this “b1tch” cheers for now Si 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Given the quality of work, I think we can overlook some poetic licence here and there! Really looking forward to seeing this one finished now. Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covjets13 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement it is very much appreciated. so onwards with a small update. A photo at the last stage of the mammoth job of the canopy😉. I masked the inside and painted it tyre black (Aeromaster acrylic s). Then the outside to first paint white, leave for 3 days then remask for the “tan” colour sealer. Here I’m attaching the pylons and cameras....notice the poetic license has struck again as the pylons are from Coltishall ( I won’t tell if you all keep it a secret 😉🤪😂) Now it’s just the seats and the windscreen wiper. I thing the “towel” rail antenna and the darning needle look alright. Thanks again for stopping by, and I welcome constructive criticism, good or bad. cheers Si 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 That looks really 'used'. Great job, and I like the way you have faded the red, and I can tell you it is spot on, I have some paint chips (read large chunks) that came of the A&AEE F-4K here on my desk.
